What's On at GHC
There have been plenty of warm-up matches and the re-start of some leagues this week and last weekend.
A big thanks to the M2s and BU18s who helped out RGS and Charterhouse this week in warm-up matches as the boys' school season gets underway.
This weekend we are fully back into the swing with 11 Senior fixtures on Saturday and 12 Junior events on Sunday.
Note that the Men's 1s re-start their league campaign at home:
11:00 M1s v West Hampstead
The Ladies are also at home, playing at Charterhouse at the same time:
11:00 L1s v Maidenhead
Come and support!
The Juniors have two big U12 tournaments at home, both for boys and girls - great to see them soaking up the experience of match play.
And they have other league matches including Premier league matches for the GU16s, BU14s and BU18s.
